REELS AND CARRIERS THEREFOR ABSTRACT A large diameter reel (60) having a large diameter hollow drum (62) with a flange (66,68) at each end about which a flexible elongate member, such as coil tubing, electrical conductor cable, or the like, may be wound, the reel having an aperture (80) to receive one end of the elongate member so that the supply means can be connected to the member through that end. The reel has no shaft, but instead, having a large central opening extending therethrough, and having a gear (70) located in the opening or on at least one or both of the reel's flanges. A carrier, such as a skid, trailer or semi- trailer, is provided with rollers (120,122,124,126) for supporting the reel upon edge and with a driving gear (152) meshable with the reel gear for rotating the reel. The trailer or semi-trailer may be provided with a hole in the bed thereof to accommodate the reel in an inset position to permit such vehicles with a reel thereon to freely pass beneath highway overpasses, and other overhangs. Methods of supporting such reels on such carriers are also provided. (Fig. 7)
